Plot Summary

Convicted criminal, James Corry's been placed in a very unusual form of solitary confinement; he's alone on an asteroid 9 million miles from Earth. He's been there 4.5 years, and is looking forward to the return of the supply ship and the goods it may have for him. When it arrives, Captain Allenby has something of a surprise for him: a female robot companion by the name of Alicia. She's human-like in every way, but Corry can't but see her as a machine.

Edit
Trivia The first of many The Twilight Zone (1959) episodes (including I Shot an Arrow into the Air (1960), A Hundred Yards Over the Rim (1961) and The Rip Van Winkle Caper (1961)) to be filmed on location in Death Valley. Unprepared for the terrible conditions they would face, the crew suffered extreme dehydration and heat exhaustion and director of photography George T. Clemens even collapsed, falling from a camera crane while filming continued. See more »
Goofs Apparently, there was at least one other living thing on the planet besides James Corry. In the final screen shot, a bird can be seen flying in from the left, going to the right and circling up and over to the left again. See more »

Quotes James A. Corry: Alicia and I'll climb into that ship of yours, and we'll - we'll look out the port, and we'll give it all a big kiss goodbye.
Adams: Who, Corry?
Captain Allenby: Oh, my dear God, I forgot her.
Adams: He's out of his mind. Who's Alicia?
Captain Allenby: A robot.
James A. Corry: She's a woman.
Captain Allenby: Corry, she's a robot.
James A. Corry: She's a woman! She's gentle and kind. Allenby, she kept me alive. Why, if it wasn't for her, I'd have been finished. I'd have given up.
